Chapter 59: how to cover the tracks
Vikram skimmed through the steps sitting there for some time and then left after bidding them farewell.
Vikram has his own way of doing things so he did not bothered to tell them anything about is as it is his secret.
After that he moved around completing the tasks.
One of them is a task related to the fisher man.
If it is completed correctly Vikram will receive a location where there are special fishes.
Consuming these fishes will improve the stat points related to agility.
But one person can only consume one fish and this requires special bait that is given by the fisher man as the reward for completing the quest.
The improvement in the agility stats is only 1 stat point.
Vikram don't want this instead he wanted something more.
So he researched and interacted with the fisherman for sometime finally getting a special quest.
Just like that Vikram started to complete the tasks in the morning.
In the afternoon he brought back a big box of packed lunch for himself and for the girls.
Then he sneaked back to the hidden cave.
While eating lunch Vikram thought that if he moved like this he might leave some clues.
There are many kinds of people out there and there is a chance of being discovered.
Even if was cautious, being a human can always leaves flaws and Vikram don't want to do that.
He has to find an alternative.
Well he did want to cook outdoor but this will attract some people's attention too.
But there will be fewer flaws.
Since he is from the king of nature faction he can simply cover it up saying that he is enjoying the nature.
After some deliberation Vikram thought of some things and made a decision.
He already has cooking skill he can improve that too by cooking the ingredients here.
Vikram always believes that cooking skill can improve the effects of the food by a large margin as long as his cooking skill improves.
Vikram wanted to take the ingredients from the king of nature faction to cook for himself.
Vikram wanted to do this for the next 5 days.
Vikram is going to give the excuse of finding some hidden quest or something to them.
Well there is such hidden quest that requires for the players to stay in the forest.
It is about hunting a wild tiger that is causing trouble for the beginner's town.
Vikram is going to complete it before and get the proof of kill to the beginner's town mayor to get the hidden quest.
This is all part of his plan.
It is just that he is going to implement it a little early.
Based on Vikram's estimate all the quest of the beginner's town will be completed within the next 10 days if everything went perfectly.
If there are any flaws or unexpected problems then the time might get extended by 5 more days at most.
With that all calculated in his mind Vikram started to work immediately.
The people at the king of nature faction did not find it unreasonable as they always have things like that.
But most of the time those people would ask the staff to prepare the parcelled food for them for their quest to the forest valley.
Vikram is actually the exception as he wanted the ingredients.
When the representative enquired Vikram told him that he possesses the cooking skill from the previous fantasy world and wanted to improve it.
So Vikram got what he wanted.
With that Vikram started to get busy for the next 13 days completing many quests and tasks.
The materials were extracted successfully and Vikram deployed the ark in the big pond so that Titia can work on that.
Unexpectedly she found the source of water spring under the pound and she was able to extract it successfully.
In the real world there are things like seed of water spring which is used in the ark island to form a source of water.
Vikram fortunately got a high quality one with the efforts of Titia.
When the ark building and processing are complete to reach tier 1, Vikram cannot fit that in the big pond.
This is because the size of the ark island is 180 cubic meters while the size of the ark ship is 20 cubic meters.
Well it looked like a row boat with small sails.
It can contain 8 people easily.
Naturally it should be only half of that or even less in most cases because of the low level materials used.
But Vikram used the highest level of materials which resulted in the doubling improvement of the space and other things.
As for the island it has changed completely.
There is a wooden house and some fortification, a small garden along with a pond with the source of water spring....
Vikram can see the virtual image of that through his mind.
Titia went inside with Katherine to work on the island with the materials they got.
As the materials are added to the ark they magically integrated into it and became bigger and bigger to the current size.
Vikram know that it is magical and did not question it using the logic.
There is a restriction here that Vikram knows.
For upgrading an ark from tier 0 to tier 1 it definitely need someone that possess builder skills for ark island and shipwreck skill for ark ship.
Without these skills it is impossible to integrate the materials to upgrade the ark.
Naturally people would either buy a slave with these skills or ask help from their backers by spending their chaos points for their services.
There is another important thing.
If the skill level of the builder or the shipwreck is low then too many materials are wasted with low quality work.
Fortunately Titia is a professional and dedicated worker in her fields.
Vikram don't have to fear that he would lose much even in the future.
